The research, led by University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science scientists, show

36、ed that recreational anglers (钓鱼者) were more supportive of shark management and conservation if they had prior knowledge of shark conservation. “The recreational fishing community has a long history of supporting marine conservation efforts, so there is great value in trying to understand which fact

37、ors affect their behavior and decision making, especially for threatened species such as sharks,” said Austin Gallagher, UM adjunct assistant professor and lead author of the study. The researchers interviewed 158 recreational anglers in South Florida about their attitudes towards shark conservation

38、. They found that many catch-and-release anglers recognized that sharks can suffer from post-release mortality (死亡) but it is still an under-appreciated consequence, particularly for species that are born sensitive, such as hammerheads (双髻鲨). The data also revealed that many recreational anglers are

39、 supportive of marine protected areas for threatened shark species, although climate change is a larger perceived threat to sharks than recreational fishing.“Anglers generally care about shark conservation, but are unaware of some potential threats from recreational fishing and how they can best mod

40、ify their angling techniques to improve survivorship of released sharks,” said co-author Neil Hammerschlag, research assistant professor at the UM Rosenstiel School and UM Abess Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy.According to the authors, the findings suggest a need for increased education and

41、outreach on the impacts of catch-and-release angling on sharks to improve survival rates and conservation of threatened sharks.“Our study identifies important disconnects between existing scientific evidence on the impacts of recreational fishing on certain shark species and existing conservation be

42、liefs among anglers,” said Gallagher. “This is a good starting point for new conversations on sustainability within the fishing community.”58. According to the passage, we can make anglers play a role in protecting sharks by _. A. managing them quite differently B. providing other recreational activ

43、ities C. equipping them with necessary information D. helping them to make much better decisions 59. More released sharks could have survived _. A. if they were sensitive species B. if they had been angled scientifically C. if the climate hadnt changed so much D. if they stayed out of protected area

45、ling sharks.CGiven that motivation is so central to our lives, what do we truly understand about how it operates and about its role in our lives? The assumption is that its driven by a positive, external reward. Do this, get that. But the story is much more complex.One of the most striking aspects o

46、f motivation is that it often drives us to achievements that are difficult, challenging and even painful. You may think that you would be happy to spend all your time sitting on a white-sand beach drinking and that as long as you get to fill your days this way, you would be happy forever. But while

47、a few days of enjoyment might be fun from time to time, I cant imagine that you would be satisfied by spending your days, weeks, months, years and even your life this way.Research that examines the differences between meaning and happiness finds that the things that give us a sense of meaning dont n

48、ecessarily make us happy. Moreover, people who report having meaningful lives are often more interested in doing things for others, while those who focus mostly on doing things for themselves report being only superficially (表面的) happy. The essential quality of “meaning” has to do with having a sens

49、e of being involved in something bigger than the self.We all know people obtain a great sense of meaning even in the most unpleasant of circumstances. Many volunteers spend portions of their lives working in dangerous, war-torn areas trying to keep disease and death from innocent civilians or teachi

50、ng orphans to read. Their pain is real; their sense of doing something truly meaningful is substantial (丰富的). They show how our deep-rooted desire to believe that our lives have purpose beyond our lifespan drives us to work extra hard, even to the point of our own personal suffering, in order to gai

51、n more meaning.The point is that these seemingly odd and irrational (不合理的) motivations get us to do things that are complex, difficult and unpleasant. But they go beyond helping people in need. They motivate us in every aspect of our lives whether in our personal relationships, in our individual pur

52、suits or in the workplace.61. According to the author, which of the following about motivation is true? A. Motivation is simply driven by external rewards. B. Motivation is largely determined by social responsibilities. C. Motivation enables us to gain more financial returns. D. Motivation drives us

53、 to struggle for achievements.62. According to the research, which of the practices gives us a sense of meaning? A. Reading a classic novel in the leisure time. B. Enjoying sunshine and comfort on the beach. C. Accompanying terminal patients in hospital. D. Listening to popular music in the sitting

54、room.63. The example of peoples voluntary work in Para. 4 mainly indicates that _. A. experiencing personal suffering is a necessary part of our growth B. voluntary work serves the purpose of adding happiness to our lives C. its our duty to help people in need to get out of their sufferings D. lifes

55、 great rewards come from our experience of tough circumstances64. What can we infer from the passage? A. People should make sacrifices for social benefits due to their short lifespan. B. The value and impact of motivation goes beyond our social circle and existence. C. Helping people in need is the

56、most important goal of a human being nowadays. D. Superficially happy people usually put others first rather than focus on themselves.DMichael Herr, who has died aged 76, was the author of Dispatches (1977), the best book about the Vietnam war. Herr also made vital contributions to two of the best f

57、ilms on the war, Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket.It took Herr eight years to write Dispatches, in part because he went home from Saigon with a bad case of stress disorder. He had gone to Vietnam as a correspondent for Esquire magazine. An American general asked him whether he was there to write

58、 about military fashion, and another whether he was there to write humour. No, he told them. He wrote little for Esquire, but took advantage of the US governments decision to allow correspondents extraordinary access to go to war with the soldiers. He shared their discomforts and their fears, witnes

59、sed their death and recorded their language.His own language, a stream of consciousness pulsing with energy, but masterfully controlled, captured the fear and the horror, but also the excitement, of the war in the jungle and paddy fields. “So much beauty”, he recalled, “and so much pleasure”. He rec

60、orded with a connoisseurs expertise (行家专长) such details as the many ways in which soldiers would wish each other good luck, and the degrees of madness that were considered acceptable.He identified with the young soldiers and learned in the first few days that you could not affect neutrality (中立). “I
